[QUOTE="megalomaniac, post: 5827747, member: 2805"] Not even close! This buck would have scored around 100 if he hadn't lost his g3 and end of left beam (he looks bigger in the pics than he really is). The other 3.5 y/o I saw that morning would have scored around 75 if he had both sides. Our 3.5y/os average around 85 to 90in here, 4.5y/os are 100-105. Highest scoring buck ever killed was 123 in the 6 years I've been on this club, and he was 4.5, but I also killed a 4.5 y/o that only scored 90. We have only killed 2 bucks that were 5.5. One scored around 80 in, the other was 115. You just have to set expectations a good bit lower when hunting locally. Per age class, bucks average 25inches less per age class from 3.5 and up than my TN farms. But there is an even more pronounced difference in the 1.5 and 2.5y/os. 90% of our 1.5 (really 1.25yos, due to fawn drop in Sept and Oct) are spikes with antlers less than 5 inches. Most of our 2.5y/os are 5 to 7pts that look like my TN 1.5yos. There is a chance this buck is 4.5, as one side shows enough wear on M2... but that side has abnormal dentition causing uneven wear. The other side is normal and is only 3.5y/o, so I think that is probably the correct age. [/QUOTE]
